Of the senses we’re familiar with or aware of, anyway, e.g. taste/smell/hearing/vision/touch.
while still being human
No deal
I am already sensory overloaded every day lol. But balance of a cat
always thought it’d be really neat to be able to smell as well as dogs do.
The vision of the Mantis Shrimp.
From wikkipedia:
Compared with the three types of photoreceptor cell that humans possess in their eyes, the eyes of a mantis shrimp have between 12 and 16 types of photoreceptor cells. Furthermore, some of these shrimp can tune the sensitivity of their long-wavelength colour vision to adapt to their environment.
Not sure what it would make the world around me look like but I would love to find out.
They probably can’t see colour very well though. They may have more receptors but they can’t mix those as well as humans so it’s a bit like looking at an 8 bit game with some new colours. Also the resolution of their eyes is abysmal. Birds have one receptor more (UV) and really sharp vision. That’s where it’s at imo.
Yeah but a mantis shrimp’s eyes wired up to a human’s brain would be neat because our brains are more powerful and therefore could probably make better sense of the inputs than a shrimp’s.
Our eyes are not ideal for living in air. They’re fish eyes that adapted over and over so they work well-enough in the air. I want to know what a purpose built air eye would be like.
Your wish is granted, you get bug eyes
those are crustacean eye derivatives
